We served 95 sets of chocolate desserts and Texas wines.  Fortunately we had great weather, no mosquitos, and fun for all.  The wines served came from Brushy Creek Vineyards, Texas Hills Vineyard, and Chisholm Trail Winery.

Thanks to the Salado Board of Tourism & Embella for their help with publicity and glassware.  The beautiful tent was from Party Renters in Belton.  Thanks to Linda Griffith for the placemats.  Thanks to the sponsors and thanks to Suzi E. for her help.  Thanks to Suzi W., Emily, Don & Lou who had to wash 600 glasses when it was all over!

A very special thanks to Dave Hermann at The Range.  As you can see from the pictures, if you need a caterer, Dave is the man.  These desserts were very labor-intensive and they were fabulous!  Dave and his staff not only prepare the best food, but they are also provide the best service and I recommend them highly.
